Hey Mack:
FYI: I remember this corner well. When I was a boy, it was Schnur's 5 and 10 department store, sort of "catty corner" to Tracy's 5 and 10. Mr. Schnur sold "cancellation" shoes at a steep discount for those of us whose family couldn't afford Thom McAnn shoes. More recently it was Cook's Hardware, and when Cookie and his wife seperated, his wife closed the hardware store and went into the business of glass windows. Excellent photo. I hope that Dunkin Donut shop is a success. That area needs a lift.

Hi Tom:)
I see this building was owned
by Aaron Schnur in 1920 when it
was listed as a candy store.
Aaron Schnur not a common name
so I think I have the right Social Security Data.. He was born May 8 1888 and died in November of 1968.
I think a donut shop is a good use for that place as a ton of folks walk by it:)
